Creamy Mango Coconut Pudding

Creamy Mango Coconut Pudding

This Creamy Mango Coconut Pudding is a refreshing, tropical dessert that’s light, luscious, and naturally sweetened. Made with ripe mangoes and silky coconut milk, it’s the perfect no-fuss treat for warm days or anytime you’re craving a sunshine-filled spoonful. Best of all, it’s easy to make and uses simple pantry ingredients—no gelatin or eggs required!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for a richer texture)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh mango slices or shredded coconut, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mango Puree
    Blend the mango cubes in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Set aside.
  2. Mix the Base
    In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, water, cornstarch, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth.
  3. Cook Until Thickened
    Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously with a whisk or silicone spatula to prevent lumps. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
  4. Add the Mango Puree
    Stir in the mango puree and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding is thick and silky.
  5. Chill the Pudding
    Remove from heat and immediately pour the pudding into serving bowls or dessert glasses. Let it cool slightly at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully chilled.
  6. Serve and Enjoy
    Before serving, garnish with fresh mango slices or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added texture and visual appeal.

Recipe Notes:

  • For a creamier finish, use chilled full-fat coconut milk.
  • You can substitute mango with other tropical fruits like papaya or pineapple for a twist.
  • To serve warm (like a tropical custard), skip the chilling step.
